Location
Situated within the heart of Glasgow city centre. Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city with a population of around 600,000 persons and is the UK’s largest retail centre after London. Glasgow is one of Europe’s top 20 financial centres, with many company headquarters located within the core city centre. Glasgow is a highly popular city for retail, leisure and tourism and benefits from world class conference/entertainment venues with the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre and the SSE Hydro venue. The student market also provides valuable additional income to licensed venues within the city. Glasgow has a student population of around 45,000, contributing around £500 million per year to the Glasgow economy.
Specifically, the subjects are located in the heart of the city centre within the city centre licensed circuit next to Central Station, the main retail attractions and office district. The premises are, therefore, ideally located to benefit from a mix of daytime, evening and weekend trade.
